Getting Started with Canvas: First Steps and Tips

Before You Begin

Have content you’d like to migrate from CourseWork?Before January 23, 2017, email us at help@stanfordcanvas.zendesk.comwith the names of the courses in CourseWork and which quarter you’ll be teaching them in Canvas. Note: Only one version of each course will be migrated. The Canvas team will migrate the most recent version unless you designate another version for migration. Also, migrated content will not include student work/data (e.g., forum posts).

– Posting a lot of Announcements? Course ActivityStream might work best– Uploading a Syllabus and making robust use of Due Dates? Syllabus would be best– Organizing course content with Modules? Set CourseModules as the Home Page
